It's the worst. You can't ever get through on the phone to tell your doctor that's treating you that you've had a reaction to the medication prescribed. You can't get the advocate to follow up on complaints of a doctor that won't do his job correctly and get you mixed up with another patient. You have to wait several months the to get help of any kind. Just answer the phones would be half the battle.

If I could go less stars I would. My client has mental crisis every now and again and he requests to be taken to mind springs during these episodes. Most recently when bringing him they asked me to come into the lobby while they admit him. While he was being checked they held me in the lobby and told me I'll have to wait there until the provider decides if they are going to admit him or not. No problem bt I would like to step outside and smoke. The lady at the front desk asked some1 to let me out they told me "he'll just have to wait" another hour goes by until I'm finally allowed to go outside. The lack of care for my clients suffering and the fact that I was treated as if I myself can't leave baffled me. They are the only mental health facility in the city and they know it so they abuse this by being the most disrespectful they can be. My client was threatening physical harm to himself and others yet I'm treated like the bad guy because they are tired of seeing him. I wish this place gets their act together because the lack of mental health in this town is appalling.

Accepted Insurance

Mind Springs Health – Grand Junction works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to the treatment. West Springs Hospital is the only psychiatric hospital on Colorado's Western Slope. They are able to treat patients of all ages. Their treatment programs include an intensive range of modalities including medication management, medication education, individual therapy, family therapy, psychosocial rehabilitation and case management services.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Professional services are often necessary to recover from addiction. Drug rehab in Colorado provides the expert services needed to address the complex issues of addiction and help individuals start their recovery journey.

Many of those suffering from mental illness also experience substance abuse, as a strategy for coping with mental disorders, this condition is called co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis. Mind Springs Health offers several effective treatment methods for those who are trying to cope with a Co-Occurring Disorder.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Based on the couple's needs, couples therapy may take different forms. Your therapist will probably take an integrated approach, using techniques from several methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic couple's therapy. The goal is to work through challenges and strengthen your relationship.

Family members of those with mental illness or addiction are also affected and often need help to understand, cope, and support their loved ones. Mind Springs Health work to make sure that there are services available for all those affected by mental illness and substance abuse. They offer group and family therapy.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

The right diet balances your body's dopamine levels, which are the natural "happy drugs" of the brain. Nutrition therapy helps you learn the best foods to eat to achieve and maintain this balance, which supports long term addiction recovery.

Nicotine replacement therapy treats your physical symptoms of withdrawal so you can better focus on breaking down any mental or emotional addiction you have to smoking. Options include nicotine patches, gum, and lozenges, as well as prescription inhalers and sprays.

Where to start. It should be called mind bending. This is like solitary confinement. No therapy sessions. No group sessions. You have a room with four walls to sleep to in with no TV. There is a very very small day area that has three chairs and a television. You can't get coffee. You get milk and you can't even go outside the entire time you're there .This is not help. What you need when you are recovering are reinforcements. What I discovered is this is mostly for Medicaid to patience, yes they need a place to go, but what I experienced was ladies to go out and get drug and come back whenever they want. I have absolutely nothing positive to say about this facility except the staff was great. I understand they'll be under new management soon, but this facility should be closed until then. Totally shameful. 🤮

There is a huge need for mental health help in our area, and unfortunately we don't have many options. The people at Mind Springs work overtime and always seem to have a smile on their face. They do the best they can with what they have to work with. I am thankful for everyone there!

They cancel appointments and then blame you. I never finished my intake because their "professional" failed to show up for an appointment, then they got upset because they wanted to reschedule during my work hours and I can't time off of work. The psychiatrist canceled on me as well. The telehealth doctors sent me into sever withdrawal because they took me off of medications that I genuinely need to function. I came out of this situation more ill than when I started. I kept getting passed onto the next person and the next. These people do not care about your mental health.

Receptionists are either rude beyond measure or clueless. Have been without prescribed medication for 5 days, and now mind springs has refused to refill without an appointment that they cant make for weeks at a time. I am physically ill and unable to care for myself let alone my family. I take a very high dose of different medications daily.

I've been going to mindsprings off and on for the past 13 years now. Even though I've seen a lot of negative comments they're honestly not that bad. Would I recommend staying at there facility over night? Not really I had a few rough experiences on the other side of that building. I forgot the head lady's name but she usually wears her hair up in a bun and wears glass..... super rude.....thankfully there's somebody that worked there that actually cared. hopefully she doesn't work there anymore.(Same goes for spring had bigger issues with her but I won't go in detail on this app) Had a random patient kiss me on the cheek while my back was turned watching t.v and nothing was done (the guy made all of us other females feel very uncomfortable.) now treatment on the other hand has really up their game my counselor is phenomenal but however she's always booked so I get to see her maybe twice a month. but was also signed to with a peer to help fill the gaps until then. Crisis team actually cares and will show up pretty quickly, group therapy is alright honestly just depends on the type of crowd you get that day. My med counselor is cool. Little odd that I have to face time with her because she isn't from the same area? Really hope that this review helps. 🙏🏻 We all deserve to at least feel okay. Keep that head up y'all got this.

If you value your health and your life, DO NOT EVER walk in these doors to seek help! The staff is grossly under qualified, maliciously manipulative, extremely abusive, and constantly changing. You'll never see the same provider twice. The only medications they prescribe are whatever big pharma is pushing that month, regardless of if the medication is relevant or beneficial to you. If severe trauma and abuse is what you're needing, they can certainly help fill your plate with an abundance of both. If you truly need help, you'd be better off seeking a therapy session with a stranger on the street.

My husband, who has Bipolar 1 disorder, was given medication, Luke Herro PA, knew he should not have, that caused his to rage, be aggressive and suicidal. Two years ago, my husband attempted suicide and was on this medication. He knew in November 2022, my husband should not be given this medication and in August 2023, he gave it to him again with my husband becoming aggressive and mean. He was taken off of it. Then in June 2024 Luke Herro put him on the same medication again and for two months, I tried to get a hold of him and he never returned my calls. On August 13, 2024I had to take my husband to West Springs as he was raging, aggressive and suicidal and the PA at West Springs took my husband off of this medication and was upset Luke Herro, knowing he couldn't have it was given it again. Mind Springs did an internal investigation and they don't think what Luke Herro did nothing wrong. I have file a complaint with DORA and am waiting to hear back.
